“The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob’s passing.”
Bryar was a member of My Chemical Romance from 2004 to 2010, contributing to the band’s highly successful third album, The Black Parade, which helped propel them to international fame. While the band is planning a tour for 2024, according to their official Instagram, Bryar was not involved in the band’s recent lineup.
